instructions
    1

    Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into thin strips. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.

    2

    Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the potato strips.

    3

    Fry the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.

    4

    While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the green onions and garlic.

    5

    Once the potatoes are cooked, add the chopped garlic and stir for 1 minute until fragrant.

    6

    In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of wasabi paste and 3 tablespoons of soy sauce. Adjust the wasabi to your desired spice level.

    7

    Pour the wasabi-soy sauce mixture over the potatoes and stir well to coat them evenly.

    8

    Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    9

    Finally, sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onion over the top and add pepper to taste.

    10

    Remove from heat and let it cool for a few moments before serving.
